The Cid Route by bicycle

We provide you with the itinerary with all the accommodation reserved, and we also make sure that your luggage is transferred each day to the next hotel. All that's left for you is to pedal and enjoy!

The paths of the famous Song of Mine Cid from Burgos to Valencia serve as a proposal for an itinerant route through the most beautiful areas of the Iberian System and the Castilian Plateau.

Evening time 10 days, 9 nights and 8 bike stages It's a true immersion in the lands of the Cid. You'll faithfully follow in the footsteps of El Cid through the lands of Burgos, Soria, Guadalajara, Teruel, Castellón, and Valencia, as if it were a true natural and cultural exhibition. You'll end along the Levantine coast, on Malvarrosa Beach, where you can enjoy a swim and a delicious paella.

The route will take you through natural areas such as the Sierra de la Demanda, the Lobos River Canyon, the Sierra de Pela, the Molina plateau, the Alto Tajo, and the Albarracín mountain ranges, the heart of the Vacías Mountains, Javalambre, and Espadán.
